An incredible discovery in the back of a 26-year-old Algerian man who can endure pain

In a strange incident in Algeria, doctors discovered the presence of a knife embedded in the back of a young man since 1996, and the young Fares from the state of Setif in northeastern Algeria continued his life with a knife in his back 26 years ago, after he was stabbed

 According to a number of local newspapers, the young man underwent an operation after he was stabbed, after which the doctor closed the wound, leaving the knife in his body, and the young man continued to take painkillers over the past years with pain, until he finally discovered the matter, where he performed an x-ray, to find a foreign body in his back.

The doctor believed, according to the Algerian newspaper "Al-Shorouk", that there was a defect in the imaging device, which made him ask the patient to take a picture in another clinic, and the surprise was for the patient and the doctor, as they confirmed with conclusive evidence that the front part of a knife was in his back.

The patient visited a number of doctors in Algerian hospitals, where they unanimously agreed on the danger of surgical intervention to remove the knife, given its proximity to the spinal cord.

However, the young man met a doctor at Mustafa Pasha Hospital in the capital, and he agreed to perform a surgical operation for him soon, after completing a number of medical tests.

The newspaper quoted the young man, as saying that he did not think of having a knife in his back despite the pain he was experiencing, noting that he did not remember who performed the first operation for him to cover the wound that was in Ain Walman Hospital, to file a complaint related to a serious medical error.
